Distinguished from the bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) by the broadly attenuate (not rounded) base of the pine-cone, each scale of which has no terminal prickle or weak one to only 1 mm, and an amber color to the resin on the pinecone. This pine species epitomizes the many stately conifer tree species of the Sierra Nevada. Along the John Muir Trail, this pine tree is common from south of Mount Whitney in the New Army Pass area north to somewhere just north of Mather Pass. It was not observed north of the Le Conte Canyon area. This site is sits below Mount Guyot in the Guyot Creek drainage.

Global warming caused these alpine areas to become warmer, allowing for younger trees to establish. These smaller samplings are only about 50 years old whereas the acient ones are several thousand years old.
These trees are probably 3000-4000 years old. It is hard for a mere human to grasp that scale standing next to these ancient organisms.
The concept of facilitation may not be generally applicable to limber pine and sagebrush in that few scattered plants occur under the canopy of these dominant species. Intact limber pine cones litter the understory of the limber pine stands in this area.

Scientific name: Pinus sylvestris
Common name: Scotch pine
Family: Pinaceae
This pine is easily recognized by its scaly, bright orange-red bark. The needles of the Scotch pine are gray to blue-green, and occur in bundles of two. The Scotch pine’s range extends across northern Europe and Asia, giving it the widest distribution of any pine in the world.
